When running test-case gdb.threads/check-libthread-db.exp on openSUSE
Tumbleweed with glibc 2.33, I get:
...
(gdb) maint check libthread-db^M
Running libthread_db integrity checks:^M
Got thread 0x7ffff7c79b80 => 9354 => 0x7ffff7c79b80; errno = 0 ... OK^M
libthread_db integrity checks passed.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/check-libthread-db.exp: user-initiated check: \
libpthread.so not initialized (pattern 2)
...
The test-case expects instead:
...
Got thread 0x0 => 9354 => 0x0 ... OK^M
...
which is what I get on openSUSE Leap 15.2 with glibc 2.26, and what is
described in the test-case like this:
...
# libthread_db should fake a single thread with th_unique == NULL.
...
Using a breakpoint on check_thread_db_callback we can compare the two
scenarios, and find that in the latter case we hit this code in glibc function
iterate_thread_list in nptl_db/td_ta_thr_iter.c:
...
if (next == 0 && fake_empty)
{
/* __pthread_initialize_minimal has not run. There is just the main
thread to return. We cannot rely on its thread register. They
sometimes contain garbage that would confuse us, left by the
kernel at exec. So if it looks like initialization is incomplete,
we only fake a special descriptor for the initial thread. */
td_thrhandle_t th = { ta, 0 };
return callback (&th, cbdata_p) != 0 ? TD_DBERR : TD_OK;
}
...
while in the former case we don't because this preceding statement doesn't
result in next == 0:
...
err = DB_GET_FIELD (next, ta, head, list_t, next, 0);
...
Note that the comment mentions __pthread_initialize_minimal, but in both cases
it has already run before we hit the callback, so it's possible the comment is
no longer accurate.
The change in behaviour bisect to glibc commit 1daccf403b "nptl: Move stack
list variables into _rtld_global", which moves the initialization of stack
list variables such as __stack_user to an earlier moment, which explains well
enough the observed difference.
Fix this by updating the regexp patterns to agree with what libthread-db is
telling us.
Tested on x86_64-linux, both with glibc 2.33 and 2.26.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
